Say! October, how in thunder / Do you keep so young, I wonder? / You're no chicken, and you know it, / Yet, old man, for all you show it, / You might, on a sunny day, / Pass for April or for May.
See, your house is falling round you, / Yet you're laughing -- say! confound you, / What's the secret? How'd you do it? / Mist and moisture? Ah, I knew it! / A pipe! A mug! October brew, / Fill up -- October -- here's to you!
